Quest Issue: Quest "Illegible Scrolls" not giving faction upon completion

This quest is supposed to give a number of large postitive faction hits possibly undoing a lot of the damage done by the quest "The Bridge" for the Deep Six Cutlass. Instead it gave no faction hits, just the level 9 shaman spell "Tainted Breath".

Per the wiki: "Faction improvements seem to be for several Gnome factions in Ak'Anon (Eldritch Collective (the caster guild?), Gem Choppers, King Ak'Anon and the Merchants Of Ak'Anon), as well as negative hits for The Dead and Dark Reflection. The adjustment was at least large enough to move the character from Apprehensive to Indifferent with one turn-in (although the character had never done anything else to change their Ak'Anon factions, I did cast Alliance on him and was still Apprehensive before the turn-in)."

It looks like nobody has completed this quest on Live recently so there are no faction hits listed on the Allakhazam page:

We need someone to complete the quest. I will see if I have a char on Live who can do it.

I just completed this quest on Live, and there is no faction given for completing it, just xp.

I was worried that I had faction messages turned off somehow, but I got a faction message for killing the noble ph so they were working. There was just no faction awarded.

(Second screenshot is just me proving faction messages were working by scrolling up to my hits from the noble ph earlier)

Oh well, I am on a five decade mission.  Better luck next language.'

It was as if rats had gone and died in their mouths.  I wished I could read minds after those days.  TWENTY WEEKS of that rat-carcass breath and all I have learned is the ability to decipher [oracle scrolls] and [apprentice cantrips].  What a mess that was!  I'm beginning to think I should have become a Gemchopper.'

This can probably be closed as working as intended and whoever put the factions in the wiki for doing the quest can go to hell!
